| A Primer On Battery Usage |
by Arthur Ed LeBouthillier This article appeared in the July 1999 issue of The Robot Builder.
In developing mobile robots, one is often faced with severe limitations on the options available for power sources. Sure, one can consider internal-combustion engines, steam power, solar power and a host of other options, but each of these has unique |
| A Simple Laser Range Finder |
by Tom Thornton This article appeared in the June 1999 issue of The Robot Builder. Background One traditional method of range finding is based on triangulation. To use triangulation, you must know the baseline distance between the light source and the sensor, as well as the angles the sensor and source make with the baseline between them. Figure 1 shows one possible... |
